September 19, Apple began selling the new smartphone iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. Output devices are traditionally preceded by an unhealthy excitement: in long queues lined up as fans of the company and those who hoped to cash in on the latest news. Today we have the opportunity to compare the performance of the flagship devices of the previous generation.
New video on YouTube allows us to estimate the difference in loading speed and performance of all versions of smartphones Apple, released in 2007: iPhone 2G, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4s, iPhone 5, iPhone 5c, iPhone 5s, iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. In each set the last date for the moment firmware.
CPU performance throughout the history of the iPhone has been one of the main elements of the upgrade. The original model iPhone 2G and iPhone 3G were equipped with a single-core CPU with a frequency of 412 MHz and 128 MB of RAM. Third-generation device has got more advanced processor 600 MHz and 256 MB of RAM. iPhone 4, which debuted in 2010, has been equipped with A4 chip with a frequency of 800 MHz, and twice as much RAM. Then there were the dual-core iPhone 4s with a gigahertz processor A5 and the iPhone 5 with a 1.2-gigahertz chip A6.
Last year, Apple released two models of iPhone 5c and iPhone 5s. Performance is generally consistent with the first iPhone 5. iPhone 5s, in turn, received a more powerful chip A7 with a frequency of 1.3 GHz and support for 64-bit architecture. Issued this year iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus boast top processors Apple A8, running at 1.4 GHz.
Test results were quite smart visual and once again confirmed the dependence of the performance of the device used microchip.
In addition to test download speed, journalists have compared "apple" phones in the benchmark Geekbanch 3. In the test that determines the computing performance of the processor in single-core and multi-core, the balance of forces was as follows: iPhone 6 Plus (1632/2928), iPhone 6 (1634/2925 ), iPhone 5s (1413/2552), iPhone 5c (711/1279), iPhone 5 (720/1302), iPhone 4s (216/410), iPhone 4 (212/212), iPhone 3GS (150/152).
